  Wanderer hears only two replies to his shout.
 "No!" comes from the Traveller standing over Glysten.
  the second is a roar and a scream followed by the appearance of
  Thorr-kan from the bushes with a live hostage. 

   A horrible smile spread across the Wanderer's face as he looked towards
  the terrified lizardman before him who now saw the bodies of his fellows
  lying butchered all around
   "It seems, creature, that you are now unnecessary..." were the Wanderer's
   words as he plunged both swords into his adversarys torso  and lifted,           holding the creature there until it's screams stopped  and he allowed the 
   corpse to fall to the floor. 

   All around is still as the group regathers, Kordane returns with his horse
   as Roger collects the others. Wanderer gathers up his bow and arrow from 
   the floor and a body, respectively, then places them back on his horse and 
    leads it to the others. As Traveller speaks he listens and sees the brand
    of chaos.  He stands watching as Traveller and Roger speak and exchange
    looks, then his look of anger re-appears as Roger mentions the Elders.
   "I bargained to be free of this." he mutters to himself. "This time I shall
    be free." 
    Turning his attension outwards once more, he hears the last words Roger          speaks and replies 
     "No, it never is easy when outsiders 'play' with your lives, but the most
     fun is to try and upset the table." That sly smile appears again. "Right,
     I'm no healer, but let me see our great leaders wound..."
